Midland Copper Reducing Solder Joint Coupling Without Stop - C x C

Product Highlights

• Midland copper reducing coupling
• Without internal tube stop
• C x C connection configuration
• Cup x cup solder-joint connections
• Copper construction
• Straight inline size transition
• Two different nominal connection sizes
• Useful for repair and retrofit installations
• 20 configurations on one listing
• Sizes extending through 2"

A reducing coupling without stop connects two different nominal copper tube sizes while allowing the fitting to slide farther along compatible tubing than a standard stopped coupling.

• Provides an inline tube-size reduction
• Connects two different nominal copper tube sizes
• No internal centering stop
• Can slide farther over compatible tubing
• Useful for certain repair and retrofit installations

No-stop reducing couplings can be especially useful where an existing piping system needs both a size transition and enough fitting movement to complete a repair.

• Slide the fitting farther onto one tube section.
• Position the adjoining tube.
• Move the coupling into its final location.
• Manually position the fitting appropriately over the connection.
• Complete the solder-joint installation using suitable procedures.

• Verify both copper tube sizes before installation.
• Cut tubing squarely.
• Remove internal and external burrs.
• Clean tube ends and fitting sockets thoroughly.
• Use joining materials suitable for the piping application.
• Insert each tube into the correct end of the reducing coupling.
• Position the no-stop fitting manually before soldering.
• Use proper soldering and heating procedures.
• Allow completed joints to cool naturally.

• Step 1: Identify the larger nominal copper tube size.
• Step 2: Identify the smaller nominal copper tube size.
• Step 3: Match both dimensions to the correct Midland part number.
• Step 4: Confirm a no-stop design is appropriate for the installation.
• Step 5: Verify solder-joint installation is appropriate for the piping system.

• Confirm both tube sizes before installation.
• Remember that the fitting does not contain an internal positioning stop.
• Mark the desired fitting location when helpful.
• Clean all mating copper surfaces before joining.
• Manually center and position the coupling before soldering.
• Use soldering materials appropriate for the piping application.
• Support the piping to minimize movement during installation.
• Pressure-test the completed system according to applicable requirements.
